William Horace Brand, outside his bicycle workshop |
In 1956, W H Brand moved into car sales on the site it still occupies today. We wonder if the J40 pedal car is still there |
Skip forward mere 18 years, and cars look completely different. It’s 1st August, 1983 – A-Day. A row of sequentially-registered Triumph Acclaims await their new owners |
More recently the business took on the MG brand |
